***"They will never have peace. I will make sure this is the beginning of their troubles. Jonathan watched me lose my little princess and only hope. Who doesn't want to see her daughter mate an Alpha's son? but I am the one who will never see such a wish come to pass.***
***I will destroy his family! The good part of it is that no one will ever know I, Ava, is behind the fall of Scot's family. Jasper's is out of the way now. I feel like dancing!***
***His greed made his death easy for me to achieve. I have four persons left. Jonathan, Valerie's father. Valerie and her Mom, Joliet. Then her two brothers Gordon and Taylor.

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\****Valerie's POV***
I looked at the wall clock hanging on my shattered living room wall, it is 11:45 midnight about a few hours to morning and I had just finished washing a large heap of clothing. I have not even come near to being done even, because my aunt, Ava's clothing, has been heaped beside me.I have spent 10 non-stop hours today washing and am not even close to finishing, let say by the time I am done with washing Ava's clothing. I would have spent a whole day washing clothes not like I am a slave in this house this routine chore will just have to end.
I sighed!
I feel I am getting a hard hit from Ava because she hardly gets all her dirty clothes out when she is strong to ways them. But when she feels she is ill and pleads with me to help her out, I find that there are a whole lot of clothes to wash.
“Valerie! Valerie!! Valerie!!! Would you get your dump and sleepy ass off the chair instantly and get back to washing all those clothes or you will have to go without food and sleep in the garbage store for the next 2 weeks. That is the punishment your asked Mom affirmed for anyone who failed to do the house chores routine to satisfaction” Ava yelled at the top of her voice, scoffing at me.
I could barely see or talk clearly, as I was drooling and jerking in a deep doze.
“I am tired. I can't continue to wash your clothes anymore tonight. Do your worst” I babbled.
“Valerie!!! I am going to give you 2 minutes, just 2 minutes to get your ass up and continue to wash my clothes…..
"Waah! Waah! I knew you never loved me as much as you love your Mom” Ava said.
“Don't make it seem like I said so to you. I love you as much as I love my Mom, just that I am exhausted right now, please believe me”
“Save yourself that apologize and wash my clothes” Ava growled.
“Give me 20 minutes, please just 20 minutes to take a nap,” I said trembling.
“You have 5 seconds left Valerie, or I will make your punishment even worse.
Ava's mom reproached me while I sobbed. I wonder how Dad would have such an aunt as Ava in ur home maybe because of what she did for them. I will try to find out what is id she did that makes them love her and give her so much authority to treat me like her daughter but I am not her daughter. A lot of times when I try to my Mom will come scolding me. She would nag till I closed my ear with my Dr. Dre beat earplugs. So I am trying to make peace rain by trying to avoid all of Ava's troubles. I have a feeling she is not all that nice as she presents herself to my parents. I have a bad feeling about her but I am not sure what it is at the moment. I guess time will tell what I feel about Ava but I sure know it is a bad warning.
Even if I try to tell Mom how I feel about Ava, She will never accept it I know but I will try to tell her. My Mom can be an injury occasionally nevertheless, I still love my Mom and even my Ava if not for any reason but for the fact that they are women. If I was destined to come into this world through Ava, she will put her life in the line to carry me for 9 months during pregnancy and nurture me till I can live for myself, but guess what?
Wahoo! Wahoo! I am busting out with joy, maybe I should break the good news. It is the only thought that comforts me. I would try to finish washing now so I can relish what is coming ahead for me.
***Valerie's POV***Ooh yeah, a new day in the Redwood Pack. It looked all foggy outside and there is hardly any trace of sun. It is shivering cold and perhaps the coldest day of the year, but thankfully the sun began to rise. After having a quick bath and light face cream, I got out to the street. The excitement of seeing snow, made me forget the torture and severe troubles in the house from my aunt, Ava."Valerie! Valerie! Valerie! How many times did I call you? Just don't make me think you are going to school today again"Ooh noo, Aunt Ava, not again. She knows I had not been able to get over uncle, Jasper's death. It hit me so hard but she always acts as though his loss didn't want anything to her. Rather she yells at me at every little thing and nags like a heavily pregnant woman.Honestly, I am not getting comfortable with her anymore but when I want to let Dad know how I feel about Ava, he just shuns and tells me she is doing all that because
**Williams POV**The scent of cinnamon and honey strike me as soon as I stepped into the school hallway. It wasn't the nicest smell everyone would like but it sniffs nice to me." Do you smell anything nice?" I asked my beta and best friend Sunnyvale."Smell what?" He asked. I became suddenly happy he didn't sniff anything because I felt possessive of that scent and I didn't know why.The smell became stronger as soon as I sauntered farther into the school hallway. I never agreed with Dad when he asked me to come to this school because he felt it would be glad I got used to the pack's culture. Studying abroad had been fun for me, I thought I would miss a lot and feel sad when I got here. It just didn't make sense to me but to my surprise, the scent keeps making me want her.She is the most beautiful thing I had seen. Her cherry blonde hair shone like the sun and it fell in waves behind her back. She is tall, I guess that she stood a
**Valerie's POV**I couldn't get over the thought that the hot guy I am fantasizing about, is our Alpha's son. Alpha Gerrard! My blood was boiling. He asked that my Uncle be executed. I didn't know how to fill it all through the day in class. I had to even leave immediately after the school over bell rang. I didn't want to talk to anyone, not even Damien. I just wanted to go home and stink my head in my pillows. Crying preferably. The money heart longs for is the same person I want to take revenge on his family for what they did to me and my family.I manage to help myself get home, to find my Mom dozing off again as she waited for breakfast which has turned to lunch. Ava would help Mom out to make food even though she knew she was ill.The yelling voice of Ava came calling from the kitchen and snapped me. I instantly sensed that something wasn't right at the moment with her voice in the kitchen though it is never different from how
*I stood up after some time, consoling and cleaned up myself, I was walking out of the kitchen I saw my Mom coming out of her room clumping hastily towards me.**Nervously walking away from where I stood close to the kitchen door. I was resting my back against the wall just to pretend nothing had happened to me. I stylishly gazed at her with the side of my eyes as she was walking towards me. She got to where I stood resting my back against the wall and walked past me. She said nothing to me, just stared at my face while in motion, and walked past.**I sighed, weeping the tiny sweat bubble on my forehead with my left palm. I heard my mom's persuasive voice as she turned her back towards me.**“Why do you seem so calm, Valerie, are you sure you feel good today?”**I got startled and mute. I didn't know what to say or how to react so my Mom never finds out Ava assaulted me in the kitchen. I kept quiet trying to process and compose mys
Ava had caught a glimpse of Mom before she came into the room.“Are you sure you don't have the needles and thread, I need to fix my dress?” Ava said walking away from me. She was beginning to act as though she had come into my room for that purpose.I just kept mute and didn't want to reply to that disguising question then I remembered her last word before my Mom stepped into the room.“Yea, I have one in my wardrobe” I replied“Okay, then get it for me" she yelled. She has vowed to make me look ugly if I ever tell Mom what she did to me.My Mom was just stunned and staring at Ava, she should be wondering why Ava is in my room at this time of the day.I went to my wardrobe got the needle and thread and handed it over to Ava than she left my room, leaving me with my Mom alone.I was beginning to quiver, I don't want my Mom to demand I tell her why Ava came into my room because if that
A stack of unopened presents stood in the corner of the hall wrapped in smooth shiny wrapping paper. A silk bow had been carefully tied around each parcel. Hungry pups loomed over the table which was filled with food. It was a buffet. Some grabbed sandwiches and filled their mouths with sweets.A huge cake covered in thick white icing and decorated with tiny pink roses sat in the middle of the table surrounded by brightly colored bowls that were filled with food. A jug of brightly colored juice had been knocked over and formed a puddle on the floor.The compartment was decorated with streamers and balloons. A special birthday cake was ordered for him. Isaw. It was a chocolate cake, with juicy cherries on the top.His grandparents came from Montreal to attend his birthday party. All his friends were also invited. I was very happy to see them. They all brought gifts for him. Luna kept them carefully in his room. Everyone wore all wore nice party dresse
Valerie's POVIt was still very cold in the morning, I was still lying in my bedroom and wrapped under my blanket. I seem to be feeling feverish but I have to shake it off. What happened at William's party the other day has not gotten off my mind. I wonder what came over me. I was supposed to have a great with my mate, the one who made my heart skip when I first set my eyes on him. But it all went the opposite, I was swerved to the corner by a total stranger. His scents were anything close to William's but it was fluffy.“Valerie!, Valerie!, Valerie! will you get off the mattress and get ready for the ceremony today or I will leave without you if you delay in but. I guess you wouldn't want to regret the day I gave birth to you, if I get to leave without you then that will happen definitely”Mom yelled at the top of her voice. I
I was shocked to know more about his identity. I had to try to keep off my over excitedness from showing forth. I had felt all the bit it is all confirmed now. The Alpha's Son is my friend but that didn't make me think less of how wicked his father is.“Maybe we should go inside now, I feel the party is about to start and we ought not to miss any scene” William suggested.“Yeah, I think we should go ahead now”We made our way into the packhouse. The pack members were all over the place, I could hear the voices. It sounded like an argument but they were chatting out of joy, merriment was on and the smiles on everyone's faces were scintillating. I feel they are having such a great day but my day is just about to begin tonight after I found someone I could call my buddy. I had seen him severally right from my balcony but I f
Valerie sat on the sofa, hugging her knees. It was the next evening- Monday evening.“A girl child is not supposed to sit that way.” She heard her mom’s voice from the kitchen.She sighed and sat cross-legged.She appealed to her parents to eschew their questions regarding Jonathan. She lied that they were in a fight. Though the latter was true, she lied about the intensity. “I am angry with him. I will talk to him once my anger subsides.” She gave a wry reply, subduing every small instinct to break into bitter tears.Her head was woolly from the recent happenings of her life. She did not accompany her Dad to their office. She hesitated to even take a bath and moved around in the same dress she wore the previous evening. Every single threa
Ruth saw the despaired Valerie in front of her. They decided to meet for lunch. Valerie delayed and they were there at 2.30 P.M.The waiters were removing the heat chafing dishes off the buffet burner, as the lunch buffet ended.A glass board shimmered in bright lights, highlighting the day’s special menu.Under the date, which was written as 5th of March, there were a series of the day’s special menu.Devil potato, dragon baby corn, and honey chili cauliflower topped the list.Ruth saw Valerie doodling in the menu card with her fingertip, with her thoughts struck somewhere.“Just make it two fried rice.” Ruth saw the waiter leave. “One devil potato too.“ Rut
Valerie adjusted the peach-colored stud she wore, which complemented her salwar color. Jonathan took her to her favorite fashion outlet and gifted her that beautiful dress for her previous birthday.She felt, it was the best idea to wear one of his gifts, as she was meeting him after a trifling misunderstanding. She shot a final glance in the rearview mirror before she got down. She walked straight into the showroom.The blank cheque her dad had given her was safe inside her handbag.“Anything between 40-60L will do.” Her dad told her in the morning.“What Color?” She had asked.“That is your choice.” Her dad shrugged his shoulders. “This is just to convert liquid cash into an asset. Anything of
"Anything and everything looks so beautiful on you because you are just so beautiful.’ She remembered his words when she wore the same green silk saree for the first time for a family function.“Valarie.” She heard her mom’s voice outside. She smiled to herself.Jonathan's family was coming home today. ‘Everything has to be at its best.’ She thought and took meticulous care.“Valarie.” Her mom’s voice was louder.“Valarie are you ready? We just have less than half an hour.” Anu spoke as she peeped inside her daughter’s room.“Almost there mom.” Valarie looked at her reflection in the mirror again. Her green saree was intact as she draped it tightly with
“Cheese?” Jonathan asked as he was looking at his mobile.“Jonathan, for the third time, I want caramel popcorn.” Valerie looked at him puzzled as he was still meddling with this mobile.“Sure, you don’t want cheese on it?” Jonathan still looked at his mobile.There was a sudden silence. When he looked up he saw Valerie glaring at him.“I asked to do whether you want cheese flavor.”“For the fourth time, I want caramel popcorn.” Valerie shook her head.They were there for a movie on a relaxed Sunday evening.The whole theatre broke into hysterical laughter when the stand-up comedian appe
That meant she was upset and he knew it.“I was just trying to understand.” He shrugged his shoulders as he bought the vehicle to a halt. He looked around. It was almost 1.30 A.M. There were none in the avenue that led to her house. She stayed in Bishop M. Avenue, one of the poshest areas of the city.“Hey, Listen, I am sorry.”“That is ok. You will not know how difficult it is for me when you try to bring up the financial status as one of the topics. Your dad owns a 2 crore property in Chennai, right? So economically speaking, you are not poor. Please don’t make me feel insecure by judging me based on the number of maids I have or the nail polish I use. “She looked at him, as she replied in a low tone.“I am sorry.” He held her chin. He tried to con
“Are you sure there is one at the end of this street?” He raised his voice, just to make himself audible.“Yes, Carlos. I saw a two-wheeler repair shop there.” Valerie assured.Carlos changed from his formals to a t-shirt and tracks. “Hell with this Scooter.” He gritted his teeth. His scooter, which he had owned for the past one year, which even survived an accident a few days ago, was now starting to trouble him more. Yet another time, it failed to start even after filled-up up the Petrol tank, several kicks, and a couple of tilts.“Calm down.” She advised.“Don’t you see? I was almost ready. I had to change to my casuals again to get this stupid vehicle repaired.
It was her mind playing a fast one on her because there was nobody in the sitting room, she tiptoed to go to her room to pretend she had been in her room because she knew there was someone at home, so she bent down to pick her shoes so that her footstep won't be heard but then the witch Aunt Ava as fondly called by her was right in front of her stretching herself, Valerie knew she was in deep shit. Luna Vanessa didn't get any better with the turn out of events, she felt the whole thing would be a thing to laugh at, but then "who was that beautiful girl I slapped" she thought. "Where have you been, I have searched everywhere for you, the whole compound is full of dirt, the ground is not mopped and the dogs are hungry " shouted Ava who derived pleasure in seeing Valerie in pains and suffering, she knew everything was in order, and that the whole compound had been swept, but she wouldn't blink an eye if
"Valerie, Valerie, Valerie" Damien called from behind, Valerie waited for him to get close to her"I'm sorry Val" for that is what he calls her when he is remorseful, she Smiled and hugged him and they continued their journey home, just then She remembered Ava and her parents, for some time, she completely forgot about them, she didn't tell anyone she was going to a party because her parents had traveled and Aunt Ava was supposed to be out of town, I hope she is still out she thought, so she hurriedly walked home with Damien, she was happy he came and apologized to her, she was happy that someone saw something good in here still have my friend back she said to him, they spoke about the disaster, the party, her awkward dressing, and Sky until they parted ways to their various houses, Io Valerie, it was an interesting journey home because of the relief she got from Damien, but it was a day she would never forget even in a hurry.
